President Trump believes he would have run into the deadly Florida high-school shooting unarmed. Speaking Monday with 39 U.S. state governors, the president criticized local law-enforcement officers who failed to stop a gunman from killing 17 people earlier this month at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. They “weren’t exactly Medal of Honor winners,” he said of the deputies, before declaring: “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.”
